Chapter 445

In an instant.

The sword light fell, as if it were refining the clear from the turbid, creating heaven and earth, separating yin and yang, and dividing day and night.

The power of a single sword strike shook the universe; wherever it touched, all things fell silent.

Ah~!

The Great Jin Chang Immortal King felt a sudden tightness in his heart, almost suffocating, and his whole body trembled violently. He discovered that no matter how he dodged, he could not avoid this sword!

The sword light descended and struck him squarely on the back.

After arriving in Karakura Town.

Here I encountered Death, and after meeting Death, my life began to go strange.

Zhou Heng: Rukia, can I borrow your Zanpakuto?

Rukia Kuchiki: Damn!

Sleeves of White Snow: Zhou Heng's hands are so warm.

Rukia Kuchiki: NO!!!

546. Facing the Celestial Venerable

A ray of starlight burst forth, transforming into a long sword that pierced the opponent's body.

This is a divine sword purely constructed from stars, possessing extremely terrifying penetrating power and sharpness, enough to annihilate everything in the world!

"No--"

Buzz!!!

In an instant.

Amidst the dazzling brilliance of countless stars, and in the midst of this all-consuming sword light, the Great Jin Chang Immortal King only had time to let out a shrill scream before his entire body exploded, transforming into countless chaotic energies that scattered in all directions.

In the blink of an eye.

The true spirit of the Great Jin Chang Immortal King multiplied infinitely, scattering in all directions.

Xiao Minghuang, however, remained indifferent, wielding his long sword with the grace of a dragon.

Sword light pierced the sky, crisscrossing the void.

With each strike, vast swathes of the void shattered, obliterating the scattered and fleeing true spirits.

One sword, two swords, three swords...

Swords rained down, sweeping across the heavens.

In less than half an incense stick's time, in the vast emptiness, all was desolate, leaving only one person.

A stunningly beautiful and imposing figure stood proudly in the void, his gaze indifferent.

After the great battle, the starlight around Xiao Minghuang dissipated, finally revealing her true appearance.

"This..."

Upon witnessing this scene, countless immortals watching the battle were shocked.

This mysterious woman is truly terrifying.

He actually killed a Celestial King!

"Terrifying!"

"Two Immortal Kings have fallen in just a few days. Has the world changed?"

"... A great calamity is imminent..."

"I heard that the previous Celestial King died at the hands of a female Celestial King, who was also a woman. Could it be...?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Killing two Immortal Kings in a row? That's too bizarre!"

"Everyone, I once met the World Lord, and he looks exactly like this mysterious powerhouse who slew the Immortal King!"

"Huh? Could this mysterious powerhouse who slew the Immortal King be the World Lord?!"

"Didn't she just become an immortal not long ago? How could she be so powerful?"

"I don't know either... maybe I've mistaken someone else for someone else."

"Forget about it, let's go and pay our respects to this mysterious expert. We'll naturally know her identity then."

These were some immortals who were relatively close to the Cangming Star Domain, and they all spoke up.

"Another battle between Immortal Kings has broken out in the Cangming Star Domain!"

"What's wrong with this world? Why are there one war between immortal kings after another?"

Why did the Heavenly Court sit idly by and watch the battle between the Celestial Kings, doing absolutely nothing?

"Go quickly and see what's going on!"

These are the voices of some immortals located far from the Cangming Star Domain.

"A new era is dawning..."

"Zhu Ming, go to the Cangming Star Domain and meet this mysterious powerhouse who has slain two Immortal Kings."

Within the Thirty-three Heavens, the various Heavenly Venerable Palace dispatched envoys to the Cangming Star Domain.

The Cangming Star Domain.

Xiao Minghuang stood alone in the vast void. Within the star field, she swept away the chaotic energy scattered throughout the void, but she felt no joy; instead, she frowned.

Because she could sense that the true spirit of the Great Jin Chang Immortal King did not seem to have been completely annihilated.

Just as she was unable to sort out her thoughts...

Beams of light emanated from the depths of the void.

Xiao Minghuang looked up and saw more than ten powerful immortals walking through the void, arriving not far from her in the blink of an eye.

These immortals are all powerful cultivators from the Cangming Star Domain and neighboring starfields. They are rarely seen in normal times and are presumably living in seclusion. Yet, they have all gathered here.

Among them are rulers of a realm, rulers of several great worlds, progenitors of billions of living beings, and even a powerful immortal lord.

However.

At this moment, all of these people were respectful.

After all, in front of a supreme being who has just slain a Celestial King, so-called immortals and Celestial Lords are probably only worthy of being compared to ants.

However, even ants have their advantages.

That means they can comfortably lower their stance without worrying about the so-called dignity and prestige of immortals.

"Greetings, senior!"

"Greetings, senior!"

The immortals bowed their heads and paid their respects.

Xiao Minghuang's gaze swept calmly over the crowd, and after a long while, she spoke softly.

What brings you here?

Among the immortals, the most powerful old immortal lord bowed and cautiously inquired, "May I ask your esteemed name, senior?"

"The master of the Ziwei Great World is known as: Ziwei Immortal King!"

Xiao Minghuang remained calm and slowly uttered a few words.

Her words were calm and devoid of any emotional fluctuation, yet they caused all the immortals to become solemn, immediately bowing down in reverence and fear.

"So it's the Celestial King in person! My apologies for not recognizing you!"

Among the immortals, many had heard of the existence of the Ziwei Great World and knew that its ruler had only recently become an immortal. Logically speaking, even if his talent was unparalleled and surpassed all others throughout history, his ability to cultivate to the level of an Immortal Lord was already beyond anyone's reach.

But.

The undeniable facts before them seemed to have numbed them somewhat.

The master of the Ziwei Great World.

Ziwei Immortal King!

How exactly did she do it?

This question was deeply ingrained in the hearts of all the immortals, but none of them dared to voice it.

"Reporting to the Celestial King, according to the rules of the Heavenly Court, if a Celestial King is born within a star field of the universe, that star field naturally falls under his jurisdiction. Since the Celestial King is the master of the Ziwei Great World of the Cangming Star Domain Field, now that he has become a Celestial King, he should naturally be the master of the Cangming Star Domain!"

The old immortal leading the group spoke again with utmost respect.

Although the other immortals did not speak, their expressions were also full of hope, and they looked at Xiao Minghuang expectantly.

The Immortal Slaying Tribulation is causing uproar throughout the universe. The Cangming Star Domain is located in a remote area, and relying on the Heavenly Court for protection is simply unrealistic. If there were a powerful Immortal King like the Ziwei Immortal King to protect it, it would give it a chance to survive.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang raised an eyebrow.

She was no fool; she was keenly aware of the immortals' intentions. She understood that these immortals wanted to find a powerful patron for her.

The so-called Heavenly Court regulations are nothing but an excuse.

However, Xiao Minghuang did not mind this. Her return to the Cangming Star Domain was intended to use it as a foothold to lie low and wait for an opportunity, without getting involved in the conflicts of the Heavenly Realm.

"I understand. You may all return for now. I will send an envoy to summon you after some time."

Xiao Minghuang spoke calmly and waved his hand in acknowledgment.

"Thank you, Immortal King!"

The immortals were filled with trepidation, but none dared to disobey Xiao Minghuang's will.

After they had gone far away...

Among the immortals, some were filled with worry and discussed among themselves:

"Immortal Lord Spruce, do you think the Immortal King has accepted us?"

"Is it possible that the Celestial King just said a few polite words and didn't take them to heart?"

Immortal Lord Yunshan's eyes flickered, and after a long silence, he shook his head. "Who can understand the thoughts of an Immortal King?"

The rest of the group remained silent.

The meteoric rise of the Ziwei Immortal King exceeded everyone's expectations.

After all, not long ago, the Ziwei Great World was still a divided world, and there were no immortal experts at all.

Yet, in a mere thousand years, an unparalleled immortal king has emerged!

"Well!"

"If I had given him my full support before he became an immortal, wouldn't I be rich by now?!"

Some people were filled with deep regret.

"Enough with the nonsense. Go back and prepare some gifts, and wait for the Celestial King to summon you!"

"... Everyone, do you still remember the upheaval in the Lan Que Star Domain a few years ago?"
